As their family business prospers, Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen navigate countless trials and tribulations together, their lives finally settling into a stable and peaceful state. Their gaze extends beyond their own small world. Past hardships have made them acutely aware of the countless others struggling in the mire of life, desperately in need of help. Consequently, dedicating themselves to public welfare has become a resolute choice, a desire to use their power to illuminate a beacon of hope and bring warmth and hope to those in need.
Jiang Zhi will never forget the heartbreaking scenes she witnessed during her homeless days, driven by her quest for revenge. In shabby, dim alleyways, ragged children, their eyes wide with naivete yet yearning, rummaged through garbage heaps for food. In shantytowns, frail elderly people, unable to afford medical care, endured in silence, suffering. In remote mountain schools, children sat at rickety desks and chairs, using textbooks with missing pages and words, yet still cherished a burning desire for knowledge. These images, like sharp needles, pierced her heart time and again, and planted the seeds of public welfare within her heart, which took root, sprouted, and grew stronger with time.
The same was true for Shen Qingchen. Throughout his career in the business world, he had witnessed countless families shattered by poverty, illness, and disaster. Those desperate eyes and helpless cries made him deeply aware of the weight of his social responsibility. He understood that wealth, if simply accumulated without giving back to society, was merely cold, meaningless figures. Now, the time was ripe, and he was determined to join Jiang Zhi in embarking on this meaningful journey of public welfare.
Their first concern was education in impoverished areas. For children in remote mountainous areas, education was their only hope of escaping the harsh conditions and changing their fate. Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen personally led the team on an in-depth field investigation, traversing mountains and traversing rugged, muddy roads to reach forgotten villages. They found that the so-called schools were little more than a few dilapidated adobe houses. Whenever it rained, pots and pans filled the rooms to collect rainwater, forcing children to crammed into these cramped, damp spaces for class. The blackboard was a mottled, faded piece of wood, and the chalk was a remnant of used chalk, so short it was barely graspable.
Witnessing this scene, Jiang Zhi's eyes instantly moistened, and she immediately decided to build a brand new school for these children. Without hesitation, Shen Qingchen mobilized the resources of the family business, contacted a professional construction team, and personally participated in the planning and design of the school. They not only ensured that the school building was sturdy, spacious, bright and airy, but also equipped it with modern multimedia classrooms, well-equipped laboratories, and a well-stocked library, simply to create a good learning environment for the children, allowing them to swim freely in the ocean of knowledge.
To secure the school's teaching staff, Jiang Zhi traveled extensively, contacting education schools at major universities to recruit outstanding graduates interested in rural education. She personally engaged with these young people, explaining their thirst for knowledge and the mission they shouldered. Inspired by her, wave after wave of enthusiastic young people packed their bags and headed for the mountainous areas, bringing new teaching concepts and knowledge systems to the children.
Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen also understand that tuition and living expenses are a heavy burden for children from impoverished families. Therefore, they established a special education fund, which provides regular financial assistance to thousands of impoverished students annually, from elementary school through university, ensuring their academic success. Furthermore, they provide the children with school supplies, extracurricular books, and winter and summer uniforms, allowing them to focus on their studies without worry.
While working to improve educational conditions, Jiang Zhi chanced upon a girl named Xiaoyan. Xiaoyan's parents were frail and her family was extremely poor. Despite her excellent academic performance, she nearly dropped out of school due to lack of tuition. Upon learning of her situation, Jiang Zhi personally visited Xiaoyan's home. Seeing the dilapidated house and the tears in her eyes, she felt heartbroken. Jiang Zhi not only helped Xiaoyan with her tuition but also corresponded with her regularly, encouraging her to pursue her dreams. With Jiang Zhi's care, Xiaoyan worked harder and eventually was admitted to a top university, transforming her life and the fate of her family. This story, like a spark, spread throughout the local area, bringing hope to more people and inspiring even more children to strive for success.
In addition to education, medical care is also a key concern for Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen. They are well aware that in some impoverished and remote areas, the lack of medical care and medicine is very serious. Many patients cannot get timely and effective treatment, and can only struggle with illness and pain, or even lose their precious lives.
So, they donated money to purchase advanced medical equipment for resource-poor township hospitals. From high-precision examination instruments to essential surgical instruments, these equipment equips primary care physicians with better tools, enabling them to more accurately diagnose and treat conditions. Jiang Zhi also organized teams of medical experts to regularly conduct free clinics in these areas. These experts, representing various medical fields, including internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, and obstetrics and gynecology, sacrifice their rest time to tirelessly provide free medical consultations, diagnoses, and prescriptions to local residents.
During a free clinic, an elderly man suffering from a severe heart condition was brought to the scene on a stretcher by his family. He was pale, struggling to breathe, and in critical condition. The accompanying cardiologist immediately initiated emergency treatment. Despite the minimally accommodating medical conditions, his exceptional skills and extensive experience stabilized the man's condition. Jiang Zhi then coordinated the transfer of the man to a major city hospital for further treatment, covering all expenses. After meticulous care, the man eventually recovered. The man's family, tears welling in their eyes, held Jiang Zhi and the specialists' hands for a long time, refusing to let go, and gushed out endless words of gratitude. At that moment, Jiang Zhi deeply appreciated the power of public welfare and strengthened her resolve to continue.
